Did you know... that in a village in Wales, hares were traditionally nicknamed "St Monacella's lambs"?

... that in a village in Wales, hares were traditionally nicknamed "St Monacella's lambs"? Source: Pryce, Huw (1994). "A New Edition of Historia Divinae Monacellae". Montgomeryshire Collections. 82: p. 35

Comment: the primary source is also quoted in the article, but i figured for DYK purposes it'd probably be better to cite a secondary source which quotes the primary source - the original info can be found in the "association with hares" subsection
@Epicgenius and Sawyer-mcdonell: I was checking the article to make sure it is not a MOS:EGG, I see the article title is Melangell and the latin word is Monacella. And in our article Melangell is also represented in an effigy traditionally identified as the saint. Will look to promote after my final checks. Bruxton (talk) 18:32, 7 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
